A synthetic sports field is an investment that pays off in short order in regard to both time and money. A maintenance crew is an expense that many schools cannot afford, and with artificial turf the need
for upkeep and repairs is virtually eliminated. You no longer need to mow, maintain and spend hours trimming and edging with a weed-whacker (in fact, you can do without these purchases entirely). This becomes a dramatic advantage before you even think about the money you’ll save in fuel, oil, water and upkeep costs. Furthermore, you won’t need to worry about installing a sprinkler system or dragging out the hoses in a dry season (or dry climate), and you’ll save on all the associated water costs.
If you’re worried about what kind of upkeep your field turf will require—don’t be. Generally a quick run through with a leaf-blower will clear up any debris that has accumulated, and often you can simply do a quick walk-through and pick up the few twigs that have gathered. The time you save can be spent on the things that are important to your football program like practice and recruitment, and you can spend money on helmets instead of lawn mowers.
